SCHOLAR RESPONSES:

What has your scholarship meant to you and how has it enabled you to pursue new and exciting opportunities?

My scholarship has given me the ability to attend UMD. It's great to know that because of it, I'll not only be able to graduate with a degree, but will also be able to attend graduate/professional school without existing debt.

Why did you choose to attend the University of Maryland, what makes this place special to you and what is your favorite part of being a Terp?

I chose UM not only because it had a strong Animal Sciences program, but because if I were to ever change my mind about what I wanted to major in, UM would have the major. UM has everything every college student could want, from high-tech facilities, to a beautiful campus.

How will you make a positive difference in the world?

I hope to make a positive difference in the world with my chosen profession. I would like to become a veterinarian and work to save some endangered species through genetics research or breeding.
